ONEIDA COUNTY - About 230 property owners could get fined by Oneida County this year. The county will issue citations to people who don't get their home's septic tank inspected once every three years.
The county has issued more citations this year than in the past. Almost 500 people were fined over the past two-year period.
County leaders say the reason for the increase is a change in state regulations. The state now requires all septic tanks to be inspected. Before, only the ones put in after July 1980 needed inspection.
